Abstract: Minimally invasive surgery is a rapidly evolving field, and over time, robot-assisted surgery is being used in more and more centers around the world. This evolution is boosted by the recent introduction of multiple different robotic platforms. Robot-assisted surgery is an evolution of a laparoscopic one, therefore there are multiple points that we can compare in order to be able to overcome a simple passion for technology and modern. Despite the long-standing presence of laparoscopic surgery, we cannot overlook the dexterity shift, easier training of novice surgeons (various digital training platforms and dual-console availability), shorter learning curve even for complex procedures, faster transition from open procedures to their robot-assisted counterparts, lower physical load and mental stress, and hospital benefits (especially in high-volume centers) that arrive with the adoption of robotic system. Keywords: Laparoscopic, robot-assisted, comparison, benefits, difference
